Oops! Bug in xterm version "XFree86 4.0.1h(149)" (as shipping with RH�7.1 and XFree86 4.0.3): While xterm is in in UTF-8 mode (activated by "LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 xterm"), execution of the command perl -e 'print "\x1b(0";' causes the G0 characters to be replaced with the DEC graphics characters. This should definitely not be possible in UTF-8 mode (and that's the reason why UTF-8 is called stateless). Apparently the the ISO 2022 sequences are not disabled in UTF-8 mode. :-( All of ISO 2022 switching is incompatible with UTF-8 and has to be deactivated in UTF-8 mode. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#term Markus -- Markus G.
